Cannabis use has risen with legalisation and Covid-19 lockdowns: UN report

Places across the world that have legalised cannabis appear to have increased its regular use, according to a &nbsp;UN report.&nbsp;

According to a recent UN report, Cannabis use has widely increased in countries that have legalised the drug. The regular intake of the drug also rose during the Covid-19 lockdowns, raising the risk of depression and suicide, the report added.&nbsp;
Various U.S states have legalised non-medical the use of cannabis including Washington and Colorado. Other countries including Canada have taken similar steps.&nbsp;
While cannabis has been the world&rsquo;s most widely used drug, the content of the drug is also getting stronger. As per the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) annual World Drug Report, roughly 284 million people or 5.6 per cent of the world&rsquo;s population consumed drugs such as heroin, cocaine and ecstasy in 2020. Of those, 209 million used cannabis.&nbsp;
The consumption of cannabis among teenagers has not changed much but the drug use has majorly increased among young adults, the report concluded.&nbsp;

Sitting for more than six hours daily can put you at high risk of heart disease: Study

Trade the chair for fresh air! Here's why sitting too much is bad for your health

People who sit for six to eight hours daily have 13 per cent higher risk for heart disease, early death, says a new study.

According to a study published &nbsp;in the journal Jama Cardiology, people who sit for six to eight hours a day have a 13 per cent higher risk of early death and cardiovascular disease. The risk went up to 20 per cent for those who sit for more than eight hours daily.&nbsp;
For the study, researchers analysed more than 1,00,000 people from 21 countries for a period of 11 years. The team found that participants who sat the most and were the least active had the highest risk of heart disease, up to 50% while those who sat the most but were also the most active had a significantly reduced risk of around 17%.
However, replacing half an hour of sitting with exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by two per cent, researchers concluded.&nbsp;

Work-life affecting your health? Tips to reclaim control

Here’s a list of things you can keep in mind if you’ve been feeling victimised by the endless rat-race that life may seem to be.


Long working hours affecting your health? Freight not! Here are a few tips that employees should follow in order to de-stress and take care of themselves.

If you're struggling to achieve a work-life balance, you're not alone. Understand how to better manage your time, detach from work and care for yourself. &nbsp;
A stressful work-life can harm you in more ways than you think, impacting both your mental and physical health. Here are a few tips that employees should follow in order to de-stress and take care of themselves.&nbsp;
Prioritise your health&nbsp;
A healthy lifestyle is essential to cope with stress and to achieving a work-life balance. Eat well, include physical activity in your daily routine and get enough sleep. &nbsp;
Set goals and priorities &nbsp;
Set achievable goals by implementing time-management strategies, analysing your to-do list and cut out tasks that have little or no value. Structuring your day can increase productivity at work, allowing you more free time to relax outside of work.
De-stress 
The anxiety and the panic of meeting deadlines gradually becomes a habit for corporate employees. It's important to practice deep breathing twice at least for 5 minutes while travelling to and back from work.
Make time for yourself 
Regularly set aside time for activities that you enjoy, such as practicing yoga, gardening or reading. Hobbies can help you relax, and take your mind off of work which helps you to recharge.
Seek professional help 
If your life is too chaotic to manage, talk to a mental health expert or a councilor. If you have access to an employee assistance program, take advantage of the available services.&nbsp;

Study claims inability to balance on one leg for 10 seconds is linked to risk of early death.

If you are middle aged and can&rsquo;t stand on one leg for 10 seconds, there is some bad news! &nbsp; &nbsp; According to a recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, middle-aged people, who can't stand on one leg and hold it for at least 10 seconds, are at a higher risk of dying in the next 10 years.&nbsp; For the study, the team conducted health and physical check-ups of roughly 1,700 participants aged 51 to 75 from 2008 to 2020. Researchers asked participants to stand on one leg for 10 seconds, with their free foot resting on the calf of their standing leg and their arms at their sides. &nbsp; Roughly 21 per cent of participants failed the test. The likelihood of failure increased with age; 54 per cent people aged 71 to 75 failed the test. &nbsp; &nbsp; Researchers found that participants who struggled with the simple balancing were 84% more likely to die in the next 10 years than those who could stand unsupported.&nbsp;

Diet to save: Your food choices can help fight climate change



The desire by people in richer countries for a diverse range of out-of-season produce imported from overseas is driving up global greenhouse gas emissions, new research has found.

The desire by the world&rsquo;s affluent to consume out-of-season produce is making large contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions, new research has suggested. The study also found that food is responsible for about 16 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year.&nbsp;
For the study, experts used the concept of &ldquo;food miles&rdquo; to measure the distance a food item travels from where it&rsquo;s produced to where it&rsquo;s consumed. Researchers analysed 74 countries, 37 economic sectors and four transport modes; water, rail, road and air.&nbsp;
As per the findings, high-income countries are disproportionate contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. They constitute 12.5% of the world&rsquo;s population yet generate 46% of international greenhouse gas&nbsp;emissions.
Eating food grown and produced locally is a powerful way to take action on climate change. Consumers also have the power to reduce food transport emissions by adopting a more sustainable diet, researchers concluded.&nbsp;

Actor Shenaz Treasury diagnosed with Prosopagnosia; Know all about this disorder

Actor Shenaz Treasury says she suffers from Prosopagnosia; a disorder that leads to an inability to recognize faces.

Actor Shenaz Treasury recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with prosopagnosia. Here's all you need to know about the disorder.&nbsp;

Actor Shenaz Treasury recently revealed on social media that she is suffering from Prosopagnosia. The actor explained in her post that the condition is a neurological disorder that prevents her from recognising faces.
Let's find out what this disorder is all about and how it affects a person's ability to function in their day-to-day lives.
What is Prosopagnosia?&nbsp;
According to doctors, Prosopagnosia or face blindness is a condition in which people are unable to recognise family members, partners or friends by their faces. &nbsp;
Normally, an individual can recognise and remember 5000 plus faces throughout their lifetime. However, people who suffer from this condition have difficulty recognising people's faces out of context. Patients use techniques such as voices and face shapes to identify people easily.&nbsp;
Causes of Prosopagnosia
Prosopagnosia can be acquired or hereditary. Acquired cases can result from ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury and certain kinds of neuropsychiatric illnesses like Alzheimer's disease, depression and schizophrenia.&nbsp;
Treatment for Prosopagnosia
As of now, there is no specific treatment for the disorder but alternative techniques are taught to patients to identify people. If left undiagnosed, Prosopagnosia can lead to anxiety, depression, functional impairment and extreme social isolation.&nbsp;

Trying to control impulsive buying? Here's what you need to do 

A new study says consumption of caffeine before shopping impacts what you buy and how much you spend.&nbsp;

A new study has revealed that caffeine consumption impacts what you buy and how much you spend when shopping. Published in the Journal of Marketing, the study highlighted the increasing trend of adding coffee shops near the entrances of retail stores.
For the study, researchers set up an espresso machine at the entrances of a retail chain and home goods store. Upon entering those stores, shoppers were given complimentary caffeinated coffee, water and decaf. While exiting, customers had to share their shopping receipts with the team.
As per the findings, shoppers who drank a cup of caffeinated coffee before shopping spent about 50 per cent more money and bought nearly 30 per cent more items than shoppers who drank decaf or water. The team also found a similar impact of caffeine consumption during online shopping.
Hence, consumers who are trying to control impulsive spending should avoid consuming caffeinated beverages before shopping, the study authors suggested.

Here's how you can protect yourself from the heatwaves

Should you open your windows or close them? Can plants help and should you get air conditioning? This is your guide to staying cool at home during a heatwave!

As large parts of the country continue to swelter under the grip of a scorching heatwave, it is important to understand how we can protect ourselves.
According to a study published in the journal Applied Energy, opening the windows at night and pulling down the shades during the afternoon can protect your house from becoming a heat hazard during extreme heatwaves.
Researchers found that shades and natural ventilation can keep your house temperatures out of the danger zone during a heatwave. It also reduces the load on air conditioning by up to 80 per cent.&nbsp;
Thanks to climate change, such extreme heat events are expected to be more frequent. So figuring out how to make a home livable during the intense summer heat becomes an increasingly urgent issue.&nbsp;
Such passive cooling strategies can be a lifeline for people without air conditioning. And even people with air conditioning can use this technique to lower their summer energy bills, researchers concluded.
